Thanks for your reply.

I just want to create a 'Windows'-type environment for the visitors of my website.

I was looking for a way whereby each user would NOT have to set the $Display var on their individual terminals. I also needed to be able to have this graphical interface to be available to various platforms.

My understanding now, is that it is not that simple and using this interface in this uncontrolled arena may possibly open up a security 'hole' (I'm not exactly sure how, but may provide access to the shell?).

What are your thoughts?

Thanx. --newbie00
